[Coco] iCalendar

[elderpav at yahoo.com]

Hi all,

Before I plunge ahead and wind up duplicating somebody else's efforts, has anyone ever written a program or utility for the Coco that can read iCalendar files (aka iCal or .ics files)? I'd like to develop the ability to import events, todo's, and reminders from others devices/systems onto the Coco, preferably NitrOS9. Looking online I found the specs for the .ics file format and it doesn't look like it would be too difficult to write a parsing routine for the Coco that could read it. The only drawback may be that iCal files sometimes can be quite large (I exported my Yahoo! calendar to an .ics file & it was over 300k, too large to fit on a standard 35-track floppy), and so it might take a while for the Coco to get through the whole file. Any thoughts?
